DESTRUCTION: A series of mega earthquakes and tsunamis will hit Earth, it is claimed

“Highest probability of a great earthquake (eight to nine magnitude) and tsunami from March 4 to 8”

Frank Hoogerbeets

Frank wrote on his website ditrianum.org: "In the last week of February and the first week of March there will likely be a significant increase in seismic activity with the highest probability of an eight plus magnitude earthquake around March 4."

He says the position of the planets and the moon have an impact on tectonic plate movement here on earth – a claim that is denied by many scientists.

But Hoogerbeets is convinced that it will have destructive consequences today as two planetary alignments will occur both involving Mars and Venus.

HORROR: Humans could be at risk if earthquakes and tsunamis hit

Frank said: "Then, on February 27 Earth itself will be involved in two alignments, first with Mars and Uranus at 0:12 UTC and then with Mars and Jupiter at 14:05 UTC.

"As a result, increased seismic activity over six magnitude is likely to continue on the 28th and into March.

"Undoubtedly, the most critical time-frame will be the first week of March, because of the multiple alignments in the previous week and the highly critical convergence of Earth’s alignments with Jupiter and Uranus as well as with the Sun and Neptune on March 2.

He added: "In all, there will be twelve planetary alignments in only two weeks, from February 24 to March 8.

"This is similar to the fifteen planetary alignments last December causing a seismic increase with three large seven magnitude earthquakes.

"The convergence of planetary alignments in this time-frame has the potential of producing large earthquakes well over seven magnitude with the highest probability of a great earthquake (eight to nine magnitude) and tsunami from March 4 to 8."

7.8 earthquake hits New Zealand

A powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake has triggered a tsunami off the coast of New Zealand – near the same place a tremor killed dozens of people.

But Frank’s methods of prediction have faced ridicule from many.

In December 2015 he was mocked after predicting a powerful magnitude eight earthquake that could "change the world forever" would strike on the 11 or 12 of the month, only for it to fail to materialise.

There was also the much publicised mega quake he warned was about to hit California in May 2015 - but it too never arrived.

Astronomer Phil Plait, who writes for New Scientist, previously said of his predictions: "Let me be clear: No, it won't. It can't.

"There is simply no way an alignment of planets can cause an earthquake on Earth. It's literally impossible."
